The 2.4 version of the WPF API I was able to publish an application using clickonce and have users on my network use the app. Can I still do the same thing at 3.0 without have to use any licenses? All references to any maps will point directly to ArcServer.

If you are only using services from ArcGIS Server or ArcGIS Online that represents a "Basic" license in the new ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF (v3.0 of the API). You will need to set the license string, but at the Basic level the license continues to be free.

One more question, can I install 2.4 and 3.0 Pre-release on the same machine and use 10.0?

Also if I only use ArcGIS Server layers/features in my 3.0 WPF application do I still need to use the deployment tool to deploy the app or can I still use Clickonce to deploy the app to our users in our organization (behind a firewall) as I currently do now.

Hi,

Yes, you can install 2.4 and 3.0 Pre-release on the same machine but the default assembly references and toolbox UI components will be updated to v3.0.

If you only use ArcGIS Server layers you will still need to use the Deployment Builder but this does not actually deploy the app, it just helps you to create an ArcGIS Runtime deployment folder with the minimum components you need. If you're only using services then the ArcGIS Runtime deployment will be very small. You will still need to deploy the ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.dll assembly with your application (plus any other WPF client assemblies you use). ClickOnce deployment should work fine - please let me know as soon as possible if you experience any problems and we'll investigate.

Dragging and dropping Runtime Application works great, have it working against ArcGIS Server and can do a quite a few different tasks yet when I deploy via ClickOnce -- :( deploys and have alot of people using this application works great until I try to start a GeometryService-- getting this and have gotten of reports on about 10 machines so far
